vengeance rises from the cold ash
the bitter taste of misguided grievances
cruel to honor a blood soaked deal
the stains on your steel become your guiding light
craving the caustic touch
one last scarlet smile
integrity a reflected facade
scars marking you as a reliable inferno
a beast tamed in the crucible
a tool for the morals of selfish gods
vengeance comes for all
the executioner must be brought to justice
the punisher, punished
when the last drops fall
the survivor will be shameless
not blameless
vengeance will be a sorrowful life
